Description
- The present invention relates to a trolley wire measurement apparatus and a trolley wire measuring method for measuring an amount of wear, etc. , of a trolley wire(s), being an electric power supply source for a car.
- An electric car of an electric train, traveling on the rails for the electric cars, obtains the necessary electric power thereof from a trolley wire (s) through an upper surface of pantograph (i.e. , a contact strip). A lower surface of the trolley wire (i.e., a slide moving surface or a sliding surface) and the upper surface of the pantograph are worn out, gradually, due to sliding contact on each other. In order to avoid the wear from being concentrated to a part thereof on the side of the pantograph, the trolley wire is deviated towards to the left-hand direction and the right-hand direction, alternately, by each of electric supporting poles. An amount of wear and/or an amount of deviation of the trolley wire is/are examined, i.e., if being good or not (bad), by conducting a traveling measurement, periodically, with loading a trolley wire measurement apparatus on a measurement train (or an inspection car), etc.
- As one of the trolley wire measurement apparatuses, there are already known a type, in which scanning is made on the trolley wire, covering over a range of the deviation thereof, with irradiating a laser beam upon that trolley wire, while rotating a rotary polygon mirror on a horizontal surface. In one of those, a test signal about the sliding surface of the trolley wire is obtained by receiving a reflection light, being reflected upon the sliding surface of the trolley wire and guided therefrom, which can be obtained depending on that scanning, on a light receiving element, via a mirror having a hole therein, and then calculation is made on width or period of generation of the test signals, which can be obtained depending on the scanning thereof, in a data processing apparatus; thereby, measuring the amount of wear of the trolley wire. A measurement train or an inspection car, loading such trolley wire wear amount measurement apparatuses, are already described in the following
Patent Document - In the following
Patent Document 2 is described a calculation of the amount of wear within the measurement apparatus of the trolley wire, in which the width of the sliding surface of the trolley wire is obtained through image processing of a picture, being sampled by means of a CCD camera, and from this, the amount of wear is measured out. Also, in the followingPatent Documents - Another trolley wire measurement apparatus is also described in the following
Patent Document 6, in which a residual amount height and/or width is measured by obtaining a shadow of the trolley wire lying between a sensor light emitting portion and a light receiving portion, by means of a transmission-type sensor having the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion on side surfaces thereof putting a guide rail between them, while guiding the trolley wire onto that guide rail. -
DE10044432 discloses automatic optical detection of the abrasion of the contact wires of overhead lines by optically imaging the contact wire in a line camera. The disclosed device is placed on a vehicle in a location which is different from that of the pantograph. Based on a rule, a correction occurs, whereby special correction measures are provided and applied in order to fine focus the imaging despite the varying heights of the contact wire. -
EP1855084 discloses a method that involves determining a real breadth measuring value based on retaining of a flank and a grinding surface of a catenary wire in a selected tunnel section, where the wire is illuminated by a light source. A correction value is determined by comparison with the determined value and a breadth measuring value before calculating a remaining height. The measuring value that is determined from the retaining of the surface is corrected with the help of the correction value. Also disclosed is a device for determining the remaining height of a catenary wire. -
DE19634060 discloses an arrangement that includes a lighting arrangement which illuminates an over-head wire, and at least one photoelectric sensor mounted on a vehicle, underneath the over-head wire. The lighting arrangement includes a first lighting device, arranged adjacent to the sensor, and a second lighting device arranged opposite the sensor. The sensor detects a light reflected by the over-head wire, and a light reflected by a slider mirror of the over-head wire, so that an image of the over-head wire and the slider mirror is produced on detector elements of the sensor. -

2010-243274 2010 - In such trolley wire measurement apparatus for measuring a worn-out residual amount of the trolley wire, by converting a residual diameter from the width of the sliding surface, as shown in the
Patent Documents 1 to 7, a measurement of the width is made on the sliding surface of the trolleywire, by means of the reflection light upon the sliding surface of the trolley wire, while irradiating a laser beam or a light of sodium lamp or a light of LED upon the sliding surface of the trolley wire. For this reason, the measurement is influenced, largely, depending on the condition of the sliding surface of the trolley wire, and in particular, in case where no reflection light, reflecting up on the sliding surface of the trolley wire, turns back to the a measuring instrument, because of blackening or rust or inclination or biasing wear on the sliding surface of the trolley wire, there is a possibility of resulting to measure the width of the sliding surface of the trolley wire to be thin. - Also, in the apparatus having the structure of measuring the remaining diameter of the trolley wire, directly, through a shadow of the trolley wire, which can be obtained projection in a vertical direction, since a detector is guided in contact with the trolley wire, and since an increase of the train velocity kicks out the detector therefrom, therefore the measurement must be conducted under a condition of a low velocity, and it sometimes takes a time for replacing the guide, in particular, in an overlapping portion of the trolley wires.
- The present invention is accomplished by taking those aspects mentioned above into the consideration thereof, and an object thereof is to provide a trolley wire measurement apparatus and a trolley wire measuring method for enabling measurement of configuration of the wore-out portion of the trolley wire from the traveling car, easily.

Fig. 1 is a view for explaining a measuring principle of the trolley wire measurement apparatus according to the present invention. The trolleywire measurement apparatus 10 includes, in the structure thereof, a trolleywire measuring instrument 2, which is provided on the left-hand side of a car, a trolleywire measuring instrument 3, which is provided on the right-hand side thereof, a trolley wire height anddeviation detector 4, which is provided in vicinity of the center of the car, a rotatingstage 5 for holding the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 thereon, a rotatingstage 6 for holding the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 thereon, a calculatingapparatus 7 for executing various kinds of calculations therein, and ameasurement apparatus 8. - Each the trolley
wire measuring instrument unit light receiving unit light emitting unit light emitting lens trolley wire 1. The light receivingunit trolley wire 1, through animage forming lens coherent filter light emitting unit light emitting lens unit light receiving unit detecting process portion 7a of the calculatingapparatus 7. The trolley wire configurationdetecting process portion 7a of the calculatingapparatus 7 shapes up a height profile of an outline or contour of the trolley wire, through the reflection light of the laser slit light, upon basis of a laser triangle principle, and it outputs a result of the measurement to themeasurement apparatus 8. - The trolley wire height and
deviation detector 4, being constructed by a laser measuring sensor, is provided on a roof of the car. The trolleywire height anddeviation detector 4 receives the reflection light from thetrolley wire 1 above the roof of the car while scanning the laser light in the direction of deviation of thetrolley wire 1, and thereby measuring a distance and an angle defined between the laser measuring sensor and thetrolley wire 1. The trolley wire configuration detecting process portion of thecalculating apparatus 7 calculates out coordinates of the height and deviation thereof, upon basis of the setout position of the trolleywire measuring instrument rotating stage wire measuring instrument trolley wire 1 falls within a field of view of photographing by means of the trolleywire measuring instrument wire measuring instrument rotating stage - The
rotating stage wire measuring instrument process portion 7c of thecalculating apparatus 7 controls the f ieldof viewof the trolleywire measuring instrument rotating stage deviation detector 4. The trolley wire conf iguration detectingprocess portion 7a controls the field of view of the trolleywire measuring instrument rotating stage deviation detector 4. -
Fig. 2 is a view for showing a relationship, conceptually, of a direction of a light receiving view field of a trolley wire measuring instrument with respect to the trolley wire. A light emission area L1 triangle-shaped shown inFig. 1 corresponds to a field of view "J1" of the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side, while a light emission area L2 corresponds to a field of view "J2" of the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side. -
Fig. 3 is a view for showing examples of measuring waveforms corresponding to cutoff of a light by the trolley wire to be measured by the trolley wire measurement apparatus. In case where thetrolley wire 1 lies in such position as shown inFig. 2 within the field of view of the trolleywire measuring instrument light receiving unit trolley wire 1 lies near the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side, but is at the position farther than the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side, as is shown inFig. 2, then a detectionprof ile "a1" of the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side comes to be larger than a detection profile "b2" of the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side. The detection profile "a1" of the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side comes to be equal to, in the sizes thereof, the detectionprofile "b2" of the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side, when thetrolley wire 1 is positioned at an equal distance, approximately, with respect to both the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side and the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side. - As is shown in
Fig. 2 , in cases where the distance of the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side differs from that of the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side, with respect to thetrolley wire 1, then the distances of the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side and of the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side to thetrolley wire 1 are calculated out, depending on a result of detection by the trolley wire height anddeviation detector 4, and an adjustment or correction is conducted thereon, in accordance with a magnification factor of an angle of field, by determining a reference of distance, arbitrarily; i.e. , processing the detection profiles to be equal to each other in the sizes thereof. With doing this, the detection profiles "a1" and "b1" are adjusted to be equal to each other, on the left-hand side and the right-hand side, as shown by correction profiles "a2" and "b2" in the figure. However, on the detection profiles "a1" and "b1" and the correction prof iles "a2" and "b2" are drawn dotted lines, as imaginary outlook lines, so that an outer shape of thetrolley wire 1 can be seen easily; however, an actual detection profile is constructed or defined by only solid line. - A reference profile "cO" depicts a cross-section shape of the
trolley wire 1 before it is worn out, i.e. , a new wire. This reference profile "cO" corresponds to the size in case where the distances of the trolleywire measuring instrument 2 on the left-hand side and of the trolleywire measuring instrument 3 on the right-hand side are equal to, approximately, with respect to thetrolley wire 1. Accordingly, the correction profiles "a2" and "b2" are corrected into the size nearly equal to this reference profile "cO" in the sizes thereof (i.e., an equal magnifying factor). - A matching process with the reference profile "cO", i.e., a basic pattern, is conducted, by rotating the correction profiles "a2" and "b2" , which are corrected to the equal magnifying factor. On the
trolley wire 1 are formed grooves, which are put between ears, but not shown in the figure, as can be seen from the cross-section configuration thereof, on upper both ends of thetrolley wire 1. Namely, an outer configuration of the new wire of thetrolley wire 1 has a shape of combining a short arc on an upper side and a long arc on a lower side, which are cut out by the wedge-shaped grooves on the upper both ends on a circle, with two (2) pieces of wedge-shapes. On the reference profile "cO", height of an upper portion of thetrolley wire 1 comes to "T1", and a residual amount of thetrolley wire 1 through wearing thereof (hereinafter, being called "a worn-out residual amount") comes to the diameter of thetrolley wire 1, i.e., "T0". - In this matching process is conducted such a process that the end portions of the long arc, corresponding to the height "T1" of this reference profile "cO", are consistent with, respectively. For example, a pattern matching process between both is executed by rotating the correction profile "a2" into the clockwise direction, so that the upper end portion of the arc on the left-hand side of the correction profile "a2" comes to be consistent with the left-hand side upper end portion of the long arc of the reference profile "cO", respectively. Also, the pattern matching process is executed, by rotating the correction profile "b2" into the anti-clockwise direction, so that the upper end portion of the arc on the right-hand side of the correction profiles "b2" comes to be consistent with the right-hand side upper end portion of the long arc of the reference profile "cO", respectively.
- A matching profile "a3" shows a result of the pattern matching process between the correction profile "a2" and the reference profile "cO", and a matching profile "b3" shows a result of the pattern matching process between the correction profile "b2" and the reference profile "cO". As a result of those pattern matching processes, it is possible to detect the height "T2" of a residual side surface of the
trolley wire 1 on the left side thereof, upon basis of the matching profile "a3", and also to calculate the height "T3" of a residual side surface of thetrolley wire 1 on the right side thereof, upon basis of the matching profile "b3". A value obtained by adding an averaged value between the residual side surface height "T2" on the left-hand side and the residual side surface height "T3" on the right-hand side, which are calculated respectively, to the upper portion height "T1" of thetrolley wire 1, comes to the worn-out residual amount of thetrolley wire 1. - A cross-section profile "d0" of the lower portion of the
trolley wire 1 can be obtained by composing the matching profiles "a3" and "b3", each being removed the reference profile "cO" therefrom. By aligning the cross-section profiles "d0", which can be obtained in this manner, in the time sequences thereof, it is possible to display the configuration of the sliding portion of thetrolley wire 1 in the form of a solid or cubic (3D)picture 11. The cross-section profile "d1" shows an example of the case of generating two (2) surfaces on the sliding surface of the trolley wire because of the wearing of the sliding surface of thetrolley wire 1 on one side thereof. Even in the case of generating two surfaces on the sliding surface of the trolley wire, in this manner, since it is possible to measure the cross-section configuration of the trolley wire, including the sliding surface of that trolley wire, therefore it is also possible to measure the amount of wear of the trolley wire worn out on one side thereof. -
Fig. 4 is a cross-section view for showing an example of a trolley wire inspection car, loading such trolley wire measurement apparatus as shown inFig. 1 thereon. In thisFig. 4 , the trolley wire height anddeviation detector 4 is provided at around the center between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the car, on a roof of a trolleywire inspection car 9. Thetrolley measuring instruments rotating stages trolley wire 1 in an above sky at a relative angle, i.e. , at the positions of the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the trolleywire inspection car 9 on the roof thereof, but separating from the center thereof. For example, preferably, they are provided at the positions separating by 400 mm or more than that, approximately, from the center between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the car. Within the trolleywire inspection car 9 is provided thecalculating apparatus 7 and the measurement apparatus. The calculatingapparatus 7 controls the trolleywire measuring instruments rotating stages wire measuring instruments measurement apparatus 8 conducts operations and data recording. -
Fig. 5 is a block diagram for showing an entire structure of the trolley wire measurement apparatus shown inFig. 1 . The calculatingapparatus 7 is constructed, including a height and deviation calculatingpersonal computer 71, a rotatingstage controller circuit 72, a trolleywire calculatingpersonal computer 73 and a laser emission (or projection)controller circuit 74 therein. The height and deviation calculatingpersonal computer 71 is made up with a personal computer, in which a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory and a HDD (Hard Disk Device), and a DIO (disk input-output interface disk input-output interface) are connected with, through a bus, respectively. The height and deviation calculatingpersonal computer 71 conducts conversion into a X-coordinate, i.e., the height from the trolleywire measuring instruments rotating stages personal computer 71 stores the moving angular volumes, being parameterized, into the memory, and assigns them to the coordinates, and outputs a moving signal to the rotatingstage controller circuit 72 via the DIO. The rotatingstage controller circuit 72 outputs angular moving signals to therotating stages stage controller circuit 72. Thoserotating stages trolley wire 1 falls within both the view fields of thetrolleywiremeasuring instruments stage controller circuit 72. To the height and deviation calculatingpersonal computer 71 is inputted car distance information, so as to obtain synchronization with a car moving position. - The trolley wire calculating
personal computer 73 is built up with a personal computer, in which the CPU, the memory, the HDD and the DIO are connected with, respectively, via the bus. The trolley wire calculatingpersonal computer 73 outputs ON/OFF control signals for controlling the light emission of laser light, from the laseremission controller circuit 74 to the light emitting (or projection)units units light emission lens trolley wire 1. The trolley wire calculatingpersonal computer 73 takes the profile signals, which are outputted from the 3D cameras, i.e., thelight receiving units wire measuring instruments personal computer 73 produces a profile picture of light cutoff, while treating a binary coding process, a noise removal process and a smoothing process upon the profile signals taken therein, by means of he programs stored within the HDD, and then stores them into an internal memory thereof, temporally. The trolley wire calculatingpersonal computer 73 conducts the process shown inFig. 3 upon the profiles stored therein, and produces a trolley wire wear amount and a 3D picture, thereby to output them to themeasurement apparatus 8. Also, to the trolley wire calculatingpersonal computer 73 is inputted the car distance information, therefore synchronization with the car moving position can be obtained, and further is added car moving position information to the measurement data. - The
measurement apparatus 8 is made up with, including a data recordingpersonal computer 81 and anexternal memory medium 82 therein. The data recordingpersonal computer 81 is made by a personal computer, in which the CPU, the memory, the HDD and the DIO are connected with, respectively, through the bus. The data recordingpersonal computer 81, the trolley wire calculatingpersonal computer 73 and the height and deviation calculatingpersonal computer 71 of thecalculating apparatus 7 are connected with one another through a LAN. Themeasurement apparatus 8 receives the measurement data from the calculatingapparatus 7, and records the data into theexternal memory medium 82. -
Fig. 6 is a flowchart for showing an example of processes for execution of the trolley wire measurement apparatus, according to the present embodiment. In a step S61 of a trolley wire height and deviation detecting process, the height and deviation calculatingpersonal computer 71 shown inFig. 5 converts the height of thetrolley wire 1 into the X-coordinate and the deviation into the Y-coordinate, upon basis of the signals from the height anddeviation detector 4 of thetrolley wire 1. In a step S62 of a stage angle calculating process, the height and deviation calculatingpersonal computer 71 shown inFig. 5 , as is shown inFig. 4 , calculates out the moving angles of therotating stages trolley wire 1, and outputs them. In a step S63 of the binary coding process , the trolley wire calculatingpersonal computer 73 shown inFig. 5 produces a binary coded image by converting the signals from the 3D cameras, being thelight receiving units Fig. 1 , into binary coded signals.
